The iPad Pro 9.7 inch just came out this last week, but the real question is whether or not Oobleck can save an iPad Pro 9.7 from a 100 FT drop test. We find out today!. Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid, which means it has properties of liquids and solids. You can slowly dip your hand into it like a liquid, but if you squeeze the oobleck or punch it, it will feel solid. The name oobleck comes from the Dr. Seuss book, “Bartholomew and the Oobleck".
